John Martyn – Sunday’s Child
John Martyn
Sunday's Child
Style: Rock
Label: Island Records
Catalog Number: ILPS 9296
Released: 1975
A return to his folk-rock roots after the more experimental and jazzy Solid Air, Sunday’s Child is a collection of song-oriented tracks that concentrate on the joys of home and family. The album features a satisfying mix of Martyn’s effects-driven electric guitar alongside his gentler acoustic work. His rendition of the traditional folk song “Spencer the Rover” is especially beautiful with the classic combo of Martyn on acoustic guitar and vocals accompanied by ex-Pentangle double bassist Danny Thompson.
